Rookie of the Year as of now: Rubio or Irving?

[DeadlyDynasty]

or someonone else?

Who deserves it more?

[jjktkk]

Have to go with Rubio. Kid keeps this up and he could be in the best pg. in the league discussion as soon as next year.

[Bill_Brasky]

I would have to say Irving.....I just feel like a guy who's played professional ball for as long as Rubio isn't really a rookie.

[HarlemHeat37]

Irving, easily..

His efficiency has been unreal, and Cavs are better than expected..

Yeah, Scola's first year in the NBA was also a "rookie" reason. Just because Scola was an old man back then, most people didn't consider him one.

Wubio has been playing professional basketball for 5 years. Irving has played 11 games in college.

Rubio easily, but he's not a greenhorn

[InRareForm]

Both are doing well on what they have to do with their given teams since they play a different style. Rubio needs to get his FG% up before he takes it from Irving however.

No way anyone should say Rubio takes it easily, come on now.

[baseline bum]

Irving is easily the rookie of the year. The guy is 19 and dropping 18 and 5 and turning a piece of shit team that lost 26 straight last year into a somewhat respectable club. I knew he'd put up PPG numbers on that team that is almost completely void of good players, but I had no idea he'd shoot 51% and 40% from the 3 point line. Don't get me wrong though; I'm an enormous Rubio fan and he's going to be a really solid PG going into the future. I don't see him at allstar level until he can add an outside shot though. If Kidd can do it, Rubio can too.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Cavs have a much better record than I anticipated, dets for sure

[TimmehC]

Irving. Dude is very good when he calls his own number, and looking for his teammates. His passing may not be as pretty as Rubio's but it's still very effective.

[Muser]

:lmao how is this even a debate?

Irving is shooting 18 ppg on .511 %, .411 3p%

Rubio is shooting 11 ppg on .382%

[JoeTait75]

I'm admittedly biased, but I don't see how it could be anyone other than Kyrie Irving.

Kyrie Irving is not the rookie of the year. (http://wagesofwins.com/2012/02/01/kyrie-irving-is-not-the-rookie-of-the-year/)

Marshon Brooks easily

Marshon Brooks easily

Gotta agree with my homie Machine here.

Whys that? What do you like about Brooks?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If Rubio does win ROY (and I think he will because he's much flashier than Irving to get the votes) he will become the third player in the 2009 draft to win ROY.

That's nuts

[Pelicans78]

I'm going with Gustavo Ayon for the Hornets. He's 8th in the league in PER at 25.9 and does everything well.

[dirk4mvp]

Irving easily. How is this even a serious question?

Add the fact that Rubio has been playing pro ball for years while Kyrie barely played college ball at all, it's not that close IMHO.

Rubios still considered a rook. Should be a tight race between the two.

[endrity]

Irving is a better scorer, but Rubio is leaps ahead in defense and the team just performs so much better with Rubio on the floor.

Ricky is destined to be the new Kidd, a player that you have to see in person to understand how he changes his team's performance.

Well, going by this it should be Kawhi.
